Cultural and tourism activities in Catania and Etna

Overview

Cultural activities in the Catania and Etna regions transition from the Etnabook festival in late September to seasonal tourism and local performances in October.

The eighth edition of the Etnabook international book and culture festival, themed ‘Collega-menti’, takes place from September 23 to September 27. The event involves 11 municipalities and includes workshops and the presentation of the anthology ‘Tifosi catanesi per sempre’, which examines the history of Catania football fans.

By October, the region focuses on seasonal tourism and local traditions. Activities include exploring the Etna volcano during milder weather and participating in festivals celebrating products such as chestnuts, pistachios, and the grape harvest. Additionally, the theatrical performance ‘Sutta à muntagna’ is scheduled for October 1 in Paternò to explore the identity and ancestral traditions of the Etnean people.
